The Best Day

Intro 2x:  G  Em  C  D

G               Em
 I'm five years old
               C
 It's getting cold
             D
 I've got my big coat on

G            Em
 I hear your laugh
             C
 And look up smiling at you
   D
 I run and run

G                 Em
 Past the pumpkin patch
                 C
 And the tractor rides up now
     D
 The sky is gold
G           Em             C
 I hug your legs and fall asleep
    D
 On the way home


C        D                G            D/F#   Em
 I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
C       D                    G  D/F#     Em
 I know you're not scared of anything at all
C              D                     G       D/F#  Em
 Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
                      C             D        G Em C D
 But I know I had the best day with you today


G             Em
 I'm thirteen now
                C
 And don't know how my friends
       D
 Could be so mean

G            Em
 I come home crying
         C
 And you hold me tight
     D
 And grab the keys

G                   Em
 And we drive and drive
              C
 Until we've found a town
      D
 Far enough away

G                Em
 And we talk and window-shop
       C              D
 Until I've forgotten all their names

C        D                  G       D/F#   Em
 I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school
C           D               G        D/F#      Em
 I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you
C               D               G       D/F#  Em
 Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay
                      C             D        G
 But I know I had the best day with you today


C
 I have an excellent father
Em
 His strength is making me stronger
C
 God smiles on my little brother
Em                   D
 Inside and out he's better than I am

C                      G
 I grew up in a pretty house
           D/F#
 And I had space to run
     C         D
 And I had the best days with you


G           Em
 There is a video
   C                    D
 I found from back when I was three
G             Em               C
 You set up a paint set in the kitchen
            D
 And you're talking to me

G                 Em            C
 It's the age of princesses and pirate ships
         D
 And the seven dwarves
G                  Em                  C
 Daddy's smart and you're the prettiest lady
        D
 In the whole wide world


C      D                G            D/F#   Em
 Now I know why all the trees change in the fall
C                D          G         D/F#  Em
 I know you were on my side even when I was wrong
       C                   D
 And I love you for giving me your eyes
G        D/F#     Em
 Staying back and watching me shine
    C                 D
 And I didn't know if you knew
        G           D/F#      Em
 So I'm taking this chance to say
                C             D        G
 That I had the best day with you today
